  • Head! Desk! Maybe into computer for good measure!

    Holy crap! Are coupons really that difficult to understand?
    Had a guy today who came up to me on the wrong side of my register, so I didn't even know he was there until I turned around to wave a customer out the door.
    R: "How may I help you?"
    G: "So, this coupon?"
    R: "Yees...?"
    G: "I can use it on any item?"
    R: "Anything that's not on sale, yes."
    G: "What if I buy more than one non-sale item?"
    R: "You get the discount off the highest regular price item."
    G: "What if, say, I bought two vases, both regular price?"
    R: "You'd get one for half price, and the other regular price." (No, seriously, 50% off coupon on the front of today's paper)
    G: "And if I wanted to get another item half off?"
    R: "You would need another coupon."
    G: "But, I could go get another coupon, and buy something else for half price?"
    R: "Yees..." starting to get worried here...
    G: "Or, I could send my wife through the line for the second coupon?"
    R: "Yes..."
    G: *wanders off, comes back with wife 'apparently'*
    ...and buys a handful of items, has one coupon. No biggie, scanned, paid, on his way. I look down and back up about thirty minutes later, and guy is in my line again, his wife headed to FES H's register.
    R: "Hello again..."
    Guy is extremely low key this run through, beyond yelling across me something to the effects of, "Wife, you got five dollars?" after I gave him his total.

    Read your damn schedule!
    Okay, so, FES S and I attend Rocky Horror on Saturdays, her more than I. She makes it a common occurence to stay down in Fort Worth to hang out with her boyfriend on Sundays. FES H, after I get in today, gets angry suddenly, at her phone, and I realize she's texting someone.
    H: "S never showed up for her shift yesterday."
    R: *blink, blink, only inclined to listen, knowing the bad blood between the two of them*
    H: "And she just texted me saying she didn't know she was scheduled today."
    R: "Oh, goody."
    H: "Well, she'll have to take it up with MOD D, but I hope it's enough to get S fired, a second day of no show."

    Side note, S did show up on time for her shift.

    Like you've never seen a haircut before?
    Okay, so I would much prefer to let my hair grow out forever, so I'll confuse the gender radar even more. However, summer in Texas is upon us, and it's just too damn hot to have long hair, so I got my head buzzed down to a 3. Everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) I passed by today, went, "Holy Hell, Ruby, what'd you do?"
    Oh, yeah, the best time I got that? "What? Did you get scalped?"
    Anyone care to guess who asked me that?
    If you said the SM, you'd be right. Gender insensitive, and now racially insensitive. Goody, I need to get my ass out of there.

    I was going to suggest a scunchie but your buzzing idea is better.

      Ruby's just the name I go by, for now. On days I feel a bit more elegant, I go by Rubiko.
      If you care to get deep into my psyche, I don't like names/labels in general. They're ephemeral. I change names more often than I change my undies, although I'm getting better about the undies...

      Perhaps next time my hair gets long enough... and if the job I have doesn't care... something tells me SM would start docking my hours for that sort of thing.

          I'd really much rather have my hair in a pixy cut, but I can't until I'm out on my own, because my Dad doesn't want me to change gender.

            Heh. I was so going to suggest that.

            Actually, there are some cute unisex cuts you see in stuff like anime that you might look into.

              Why are our coupons so damned confusing?
              "So, if I buy 48 of this uselesspieceofcraftcrap, do I get 'em ALL half off???!!!!??!?"

              "Sure, if you somehow have 48 coupons. And 48 days. ...see where it says one coupon per customer per day?.....And...uh yeah. No"


              Sidenote, if your store is anything like mine--occasionally, they'll change the damned schedule after it's been posted and not tell everyone about it. That's always fun, to come in on...say a Tuesday and have everyone go "where were you yesterday?"
              you are = you're. not "your".

                I wish I could get away with a shaved head. I'd look awful. I have one of the most wholesome faces you'll ever see, so I'd just wind up looking like a stupid poser.

                My sister, now she looks good with a shaved head. Bitch.

                  My second week at my job they changed the schedule and reposted it without telling the people affected by the changes. Well the GM calls me up at home, since according to the schedule I saw i had the day off, and wants to know why I hand;t showed (two hours after the new schedule said I was supposed to be on). It's never good to be a week or tow into a new job and have the GM call and say "do you know your supposed to be working now, are you planing on coming in? " After I explained the situation, he found the old schedule and said I could kepe the old schedule. He then spent some quality time going thru the two schedules and calling the people affected.

                      Um, it's a stereotype directed at some Native American tribes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalping

                      They're not the only ones that engaged in the practice, but it became the most attached to them and is used as an insult basically.

                          Sorry I forgot that racist types generally don't know what they're talking about. All they'd have to do is read the history of the French/Indian war to know that europeans were big on scalping at the time.

                            See: Winona Ryder, in just about anything she's ever been in. At least, to me, that's a pixy cut.

                            I should put everything he said...
                            "What'd you do? Go to the casino and get scalped?"
                            Implication here being I went to Oklahoma (the only nearby place with casinos, where Indians run everything) and... yeah...
